Multi-Purpose Bin Lids

Bins are ubiquitous. If you think about all the places you find them, you very quickly come up with a lengthy list. In and around the home, of course, then offices, commercial kitchens, hospitality and entertainment venues, spas and gyms, public transportation and so on. And then there are all the different purposes bins are put to. Some for general waste, some for food waste, and increasingly common, different bins for different categories of recyclable waste. And then there are bins for sanitary and hazardous waste, too, such as those found in public toilets or the medical waste bins in hospitals and clinics. Bins in so many different places for so many different purposes mean they also come in all manner of different shapes and sizes. And so too do bin lids. It is easy to take what a bin lid is and what it does for granted. Reflecting the wide variety of types and uses, Sugatsune manufactures more than 50 different multi-purpose bin lids and covers. Each type is meticulously designed and precision engineered to be a cut above the ordinary in terms of style, function and reliability. All of our bin lids and covers are made of high quality stainless steel with an emphasis on pristine appearance as well as durability. One thing that makes the Sugatsune range stand out from other vendors is our manufacturing process.We have invested significantly in tooling capabilities that allow us to produce all of these different products in large volumes with an impeccable degree of precision and consistency. By contrast, many competitors still finish bin lid components by hand, which leads to slight variations and long lead times for bulk orders. We also use techniques such as stud bolt welding that not only creates an attractive and durable finish, it also improves safety. Having all the edges on all lips around lids and covered smoothed precisely in this way avoids the risk of cut fingers. Our hinged bin lids range includes both horizontal and vertical flaps. Our top-mounted horizontal lids are available in both round and square varieties, ranging in size from 106mm in diameter to 276mm. Our side-mounted vertical lids are larger and rectangular in shape, ranging from 182mm in width to 310mm, and come in top-opening, bottom-opening and dual side-opening options. Many of our lids benefit from being fitted with a balance weight and our patented soft close damper technology, which ensures the flap closes automatically but also smoothly and silently, avoiding the risk of trapped fingers. In addition, our top-opening vertical lids, which are conventionally pulled forward top open. can be customised by adding a magnetic catch to hold them closed and a push-to-open mechanism which means no external handle is required. We also offer a lockable vertical lid, a useful security feature for any external bins to mitigate against things like fire and bomb risks. As well as hinged lids, we also manufacture open bin covers. Again, these come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A common use for covers with different size apertures is to sort waste for recycling, as different covers will only allow objects of a certain size to pass through. One specific adaptation of our open bin covers is a funnel designed for disposal of liquids, for example throwing away drinks in a restaurant, which can be paired with additional components such as a PVC hose and strainer.
